in the hands OF Lord Salisbury, who,
three weeks before the meeting of
Parliament, is now called upon to
choose another Leader of the House
of Commons, and, further, to provide
against the tactics of the most skilful
of the guerilla leaders, who, with all
the secrets Of the Cnbinet in his hands,

his former colleagues from below the

anxious to avoid the denunciation Of
the "Plan of Campaign in lreIpnd,"
though for that there is less evidence.
When we went to press on Thursday,
it was not yet known whether other
designations would follow that of
Lord Randolph Churchill.
Mr.. Parnellhas broken silerce upon
the "Plan of Campaign" al last. He
says that he never heard of it. In
an official circular forwarded to
all the leading papers, it is declared
that Mr.. ParneIl, who has been miss
ing for some weeks, has been sick and
is staying at the EuSton Hotel, under
the care of his mother. He has been
suffering from "a sharp gastric attack,
with complications" but is now much
better. Mr.. ParneIl will not express any
opinion on the "PIan of Campaign"
until he has consulted the gentlemen
responsible for It's organisation and
working, "whom he has not seen since
last Session" He was not aware
'lhat the ''Plan" had been devised,
or was going to be proposed, until he
saw it in the newspapers" That may
be true, if he means that he knew no.

The FttkaaEon tfa Mr. Parnelps man

"Plan" has greatly e~xasperated En-
gIish opinion; the Liberal leaders
will not justify it; and Parliament
meets in less than three weeks. Mr..
Parnell desires to resume his position
as "the Constitutional advocate of
Roma-rule," and to do this he must
convince Englishmeu that he is IRE
sponsible for the "Plan," which was
organised, and 10 some extent acted
on, by over Jealous %licutennnts while
he was i'll. That is his line IN England
and he trusts to Ireland to catch
his secret meaning without labc-
rious explanations. The Irish are
quick, and we dare say they will
catch it; for though United Ireland

Caste.

The following article is from the Chi
cago Interior, one of the ablest Presby-
terrain newspapers inthe country.
There is periodical outcry against
the sin CT caste existing between the
white and Colored races-and there is
always special melting cause for this
outcry-a reason why the silence at inter-
walls should be violently broken. The
truth is, that the word "caste" Is wholly
inapplicable to race Determinations.
Caste never takes any account of blood or
OF color, but only of position in society
and that position is determined by occu-
patton, wealth or family. In India it is 8
part of the common law. Here are two
families, one white, with a house full of
sons and daughters of similar numbers
and ages. The two families are of equal
wealth and education. But the white
parents refuse to establish intimate social
relations between the two families. This
is not caste. There is nothing in the
slightest degree oppressive or wrong
about 1t. The colored family are not de-
prived Of any Of their rights, nor put st 9
disadvantage. To say the contrary ard
insist that the white family must I've in
intimate relations with CUlOred, is the
worst form OF anarChiS'ic socialism and
yet that ridiculous dem md is made-and
made by men who would be as slew as
anybody to put their theoretical folly into
practice. President Lincoln put the sub
iect IN brief when he said, Because l do
not want negro woman for my slave,
is no reason why do want her for my
wife" 1t is easy to get at the right and
the wrong of this question. No one can
be deprived of civil end religious rights
equal with others without wrongIng. A
person is, not deprived OF the benefits If
education aud religious privileges on &C
count Of color; and yet as far as possible
the two races should be kept socially sep
arate. We W0uli ADMIT colUred man

The Bloody shirt.
New York Times.

The last feeble effort to wave the bloody
shirt is to be made this week in the inves-
tlgation ofaileged election ''outrages" in
Texas. Politics in that state is SO utterly
one-slded that there is an innate improba-
bility in the suppOsition that men in
Washington county were attacked simply
becsuse they would not vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. What the real cause of the
disorder was may be matter Of some
little interest, but if every fracas Of cleo
ton day throughout the country were to
be made the subject of investigation by a
Senate committee it would have it's hands
full. We venture to believe that the
Texas case is not one calculated to excite
much attention or out of which the least
political capital can be made.
